Well, one is a linear, turn-based, 3rd person party cRPG.
The other is open world, real-time, 1st person with optional followers, sandbox action-RPG with space shooter elements.
Utterly different animals and any comparison is as invalid as comparing BG3 to Elite, DCS or RaceRoom. I've no interest at all in BG3 because turn-based party RPG-s are not really my jam. And I've never cared much about story-telling, either. I like good worldbuilding, sandboxing, looting, crafting, trying different builds, doing whatever the hell I like at any moment while completely forgetting that something called "main quest" exists, getting technical and modding the crap out of a game and this is where Bethesda shines.
Does the c in crpg even matter? Arent all video game action rpgs crpgs?
Generally the term cRPG is used for specifically tabletop RPG-s adapted to digital realm. Action RPG-s take those classical RPG concepts and adapt them to a first- or third-person action game—basically Doom with leveling systems.
No it isn't. CRPGs are the original Fallout games as well.
I had heard that the original Fallout/Wasteland was based on GURPS.
All I heard was a BURP.
Wasteland was not.
Fallout was going to be but was denied the rights because of the violence in the game. They created thier own SPECiAL system.
CRPG isn't necessarily based on tabletop. It's moreso the isometric, point and click style
